I don't have a lot to add about 18s, but my 225 45 17 Michelin Xices are great
I reluctantly put the A/S 3's on my Corrado 2 years ago. My preferred Nitto 555 was NLA in my size. I can honestly say that the all season Michelin is every bit the Z-rated summer only Nitto in 99% of my driving. I will be getting these again for sure. It's a can't lose tire and does live up to it's billing.
I'm not a tire snob, but I will add these to points on my current experience with the A/S 3: Great balance between handling and comfort IMO At about 21k miles of use, mine are well worn- I will likely replace these at only 25k or so. I'm curious if others have had similar experience.
I have the dunlops on my S4, and I'm quite happy with them. They' have about 10k miles on them, and are wearing better than I expected. For the price, you won't be disappointed.
Never had the Dunlops, but I had the AS/3 on my old Avant. They were fantastic. Not a peep of tire noise and hardly any howl in corners compared to the OE Pirelli P6.
I had really only planned on getting pss so it didn't really matter
The Michelin xice3 however are an absolute joy to drive on dry/wet and will handle snow/ice very well. They pretty much ride like a quality all-season. As an all-around tire the Michelin is much, much better.
While the two tires are very good, the X-ice3 is better at handling wet traction.
Energysavers arent so good on wet surfaces, but on normal driving I did not have any problems conserning traction. I had them at rear for 2 years. They last very long.
you probably had the same OEM dunlops that i had. those things were absolute garbage. i drove for a year in fear of driving over windy bridges with those things. after i changed tires, it was a whole new car.
